@samswey The NYPD unions seem like enormous assholes with terrible politics, but if every city could match New York in terms of both crime and police use of force that would be a huge victory. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ — PolitiTweet.org

I think a weird distortion in the discourse is that the media is very NYC-centric, but New York has both very low levels of violent crime and according to @samswey's data the NYPD is least violent big department. https://t.co/i9BedbaJIb https://t.co/Eh54w36ZhV — PolitiTweet.org

@barryfriedman1 @samswey I don’t think I said the personality of union officials is what drives use of force personalities. Generally speaking before you attribute an implausible sounding view to a person you should check back and ask “did he say this thing that sounds wrong?” You will find I did not. — PolitiTweet.org
